Maritime monitoring firm TankerTrackers reports that Iran exported 36 million barrels of crude oil over the past six days, marking a significant acceleration in volume. The single-source report comes amid a broader loosening of the U.S. naval blockade, as The Zioneer previously reported.
Maritime monitoring firm TankerTrackers reports that Iran exported 36 million barrels of crude oil over the past six days, according to a single message from the tracking service. The figure represents a sharp increase in export volume compared to earlier reports of roughly zero official shipments in the preceding two months.
This latest report builds on a series of recent indicators of a resumed flow of Iranian oil. On Friday, Bloomberg reported that 11 tankers carrying 20 million barrels of Iranian crude had left Chabahar port that week. As The Zioneer also covered, on Wednesday TankerTrackers had identified two Iranian supertankers carrying 3.8 million barrels through areas previously under blockade. President Trump stated Sunday that 19 million barrels left the Persian Gulf in one day as part of a U.S.-Iran MOU.
The consecutive large-volume reports — 20M barrels, 19M barrels, and now 36M barrels over six days — suggest export flows are accelerating. All remain single-source reports from tracking firms, without independent government or third-party confirmation. The figures, if accurate, would indicate a significant erosion of the naval blockade that had effectively halted Iranian crude exports for weeks.
